Lessons learned. CRAFT programs were originally created by a community of growers with like minded commitments to the education of new farmers; experienced farmers both educated and mentored new farmers. The modified CRAFT model we developed and used for this program supports the education of new farmers by providing the organizational structure to allow expert farmers to be teachers. It was successful in part because of our regional collaborative partner whose farmer board provided a direct connection to the community of farmers in that region. These farmers were willing to commit to the project, lend their expertise to educate specialty crop producers, and promote the series. We recommend and plan to continue the approach of working with a regional partner in other areas of the state. Evaluations were lower in quantity than desired. We developed both paper and electronic evaluation formats. Paper evaluations could be either written in the field or taken home to be completed and later mailed to the NOFA-VT office. Electronic evaluations were available in Survey Monkey. The paper evaluations handed out in the workshop contained a link to the electronic evaluation. We received 12 paper evaluations and 12 electronic evaluations from participants. However, our collaborative partner conducted their own evaluation which had 16 responses, so we gleaned additional information from their survey. Next year we will use a simpler evaluation format to increase participation with check box options. We also plan to ask farmers how many new practices they learned so we can start to quantify the learning experience.

Lessons learned. Please describe the strengths and weaknesses of your study and provide details of lessons for future projects.
Lessons learned. Project communication. Project communication with all parties is critical to the success of a collaborative effort. In the beginning stages of the project, the sheriff’s office did not provide the Round Valley Tribal Council with information about the project. The lack of communication at the onset of the project resulted in additional meetings and project delays. Providing a project briefing or document would have helped to ensure community stakeholders were identified and included from the onset.59 Community meetings. Monthly community meetings were key to this project to build trust between the community and law enforcement. The initial meetings had a strong focus on past concerns, and it was difficult to focus on the future. To maximize time spent during the meetings, the sheriff’s office established ground rules and a published agenda, which helped meetings move forward. The sheriff implemented the following rule for community meetings: if an issue was addressed and resolved in a previous meeting, it will not xx xxscussed again.60 Xxxxxx stated, “you cannot fix the problems of the past; you can only improve how you respond to the issue in xxx xuture.”61
Lessons learned. This section analyses implications for the future wording and implementation of GFAs. First, lessons learned from the case studies are considered with regard to the wording of GFAs. Chapter 3 of this report has presented a content analysis of GFAs, identifying the need to use clear and comprehensive language. The case studies evaluated here support this claim and provide arguments for further strengthening of the wording in GFAs with regard to the application of the agreement to GSCs. In one case study it was reported that an MNE ceased an inquiry into workers’ rights abuses when it realized that the company was not one of its direct suppliers. This example stresses the importance of not lim- iting the application of the GFA to the direct contractors of the MNE, but to include the entire global supply chain. Moreover, the case studies document conflicts over the scope of application to subsidi- aries. The implementation group at Securitas had to deal with two cases concerning the clarification of the agreement’s scope of application to subsidiaries. This emphasizes the importance of including in the GFA a clear definition of the group represented by the MNE. Moreover, conflicts may arise with respect to subsidiaries that leave the group after a GFA has been signed. When the French MNE EDF sold subsidiaries the buyers committed to respect the provisions in the GFA for the next three years, an example indicating that the inclusion in a GFA of provisions in the event of subsidiaries leaving the MNE could be considered. The impact of a GFA on the GSC does not solely depend on formulations in the agreements, however, but crucially on the implementation process. The research projectOrganization and Regu- lation of Employment Relations in Transnational Production and Supply Networks – Ensuring Core Labor Standards through International Framework Agreements?” led by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxx since 2008 includes a number of case studies at local production sites and suppliers that in- clude valuable good-practice examples of a successful implementation of the GFA in the supply chain and at local subsidiaries.17 However, according to the overall analysis, GFAs are still largely unknown among managers in MNE subsidiaries, local suppliers and local trade unions. Moreover, local actors who are aware of them seldom have much understanding of their role. Issues include wide gaps in local actors’ involvement in negotiating GFAs; inadequate communication on the outc...

Lessons learned. We here summarise the two most important lessons which need to be taken into account when deriving a key agreement protocol, offering resistance in the CK model and being less vulnerable for DoS attacks. • Resistance in CK model: Any possible definition of the SK should consist of a combination of both the local state variable and the private key of at least one entity. For instance, in [10,11], the SK can be written in a form only consisting of local state variables of the two entities and in [12], the SK is derivable to a form only consisting of the private keys of the two entities. • Resistance to DoS attacks: In [10–12], the SP only retrieves the identity of the SMs after receiving a second message and is not able to detect malicious behaviour. Therefore, to avoid the SP keeping open a huge amount of (potential malicious) sessions, it is better to let the request initiated by the SP. The SM is less vulnerable since it can react when too many requests are sent as they are coming from only one entity, i.e., the SP.
